	Polysaccharide structure
		Regular ordered polysaccharides, in general, are capable of assuming only a limited number of conformations due to severe steric restrictions on the freedom of rotation of sugar units about the interunit glycosidic bonds.
		The degree of stiffness and regularity of polysaccharide chains is likely to affect the rate and extent of their fermentation.
		Polysaccharides are more hydrophobic if they have a greater number of internal hydrogen bonds, and as their hydrophobicity increases there is less direct interaction with water.

	Polysaccharide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polysaccharides (sometimes called glycans) are relatively complex carbohydrates.
		Acidic polysaccharides are polysaccharides that contain carboxyl groups, phosphate groups and/or sulfuric ester groups.
		Mixtures of capsular polysaccharides, either conjugated or native are used as vaccines.

	Polysaccharide from Sucrose Test - Gonorrhea - STD information from CDC
		Although the traditional method for detection of polysaccharide recommends incubation for 48 h., polysaccharide may be detected after incubation for 24 h.
		Polysaccharide may be metabolized by the organism and may not be detectable after incubation for 3 to 5 days.
		Inoculate polysaccharide medium for isolated colonies or confluent growth with a sterile swab or inoculating loop and incubate medium at 35C-36.5C in a carbon dioxide-enriched atmosphere for 18h.

	Polysaccharide Conformations
		These recommendation are made to allow polysaccharide conformation to be specified; the nomenclature of carbohydrates is published elsewhere [1], as are symbols for specifying ring forms of monosaccharides [3] and recommendations for the symbolic representation of oligosaccharides [4].
		For these polysaccharides the residue forming this glycosidic linkage is regarded as the first member of the chain.
		With complicated polysaccharides the primary structure should be given as described in 'Abbreviated terminology of oligosaccharide chains' [4].

	Polysaccharide hydration
		Using a simplistic approach to polysaccharide hydration, water can be divided into 'bound water', subcategorized as being capable of freezing or not, and 'unbound water', subcategorized as being trapped or not.
		In practical experience, the effects of water on polysaccharide and polysaccharide on water are complex and become even more complex in the presence of other materials, such as salts.
		Ions in polysaccharide solutions may behave differently from when in solution by themselves, as the polysaccharides are capable of producing relatively stable low-density or high-density aqueous microenvironments.

	Polysaccharide Biobased Materials Center - Home
		Polysaccharides are biologically produced (bio-based) materials that have a unique combination of functional properties and environmentally friendly features.
		Polysaccharides are also polymers and their long chain structures, as in man-made polymers, provide good mechanical properties for applications such as fibers, films, adhesives, melt processable plastics, thickeners, rheology modifiers, hydrogels, drug delivery agents, emulsifiers, etc. They are renewable materials, produced from other biological compounds, and generally are non-toxic and biodegradable.
		Neutral polysaccharides are not as powerful thickeners however they are not greatly affected by salts.

		Our preliminary studies here have demonstrated that both linear and circular polysaccharide molecules can be clearly visualized in-situ upon adsorption on mica in n-propanol using MAC Mode AFM PicoSPM.
		With its high spatial resolution, MAC Mode AFM offers a great opportunity of identifying local structural differences at the surface of the linear and circular species.
		Future studies using both the MAC Mode AFM and the heating stage may reveal other interesting aspects of polysaccharide structure.
